Man and Van Merton
Changing flats, moving a family home or collecting a bulky item? Our man and van service in Merton helps with the lifting, loading and journey.
We arrange house, office, student and furniture moves across the borough, including Wimbledon, Morden, Mitcham and Colliers Wood. The van and moving team are chosen around your actual belongings and property access.
Send your inventory, addresses and preferred date for a clear quotation. We explain the options before you book, with same-day enquiries, evenings and weekends subject to availability.
Man and Van Services in Merton
Choose moving help for a home, business, room move or collection across Merton. Loading and transport can be combined with packing support and suitable furniture preparation when the additional work is booked beforehand.
House & Flat Moves
For a Morden house, Wimbledon flat or Mitcham family move, list furniture, cartons and appliances from every room. Explain the floor levels and stairs at both ends so we can recommend the right crew and enough van capacity.
Single Item & Furniture
Need a sofa, bed, wardrobe or appliance collected in Merton? Share photographs, dimensions and the seller handover time. Tell us how it will enter the new property; the lifting work can matter more than the short drive.
Office & Small Business
Move desks, chairs, files, IT equipment and boxed stock between business premises across Merton and nearby districts. Confirm the goods entrance, lift and person receiving the delivery before choosing the moving time.
Student & Room Moves
For a student or rented-room move, tell us which boxes and furniture belong to you and which stay behind. Confirm tenancy dates, keys and shared entrance access, especially if the move also includes home or storage.
Storage Moves
We can collect from storage or take part of a household load into a unit. Share the facility address, access hours and floor, and keep storage items separate from the belongings being delivered to your new home.
Long-Distance Removals
Heading out of South London? We quote for longer removals from Merton using the full inventory and destination access. The written price sets out moving time, chargeable mileage and any applicable route costs.
Packing and Furniture Help
For a Merton home or flat move, closed boxes and prepared furniture help keep loading organised. Ask about packing fragile items or dismantling a suitable bed or wardrobe, and share photographs so the work can be agreed before the day.
See our packing service and furniture dismantling and assembly options for more details.
Man and Van Merton Prices
| Service | Ground/Lift | Stairs |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Man + LWB Van | £60/h | £70/h |
| 1 Man + Luton Van | £70/h | £80/h |
| 2 Men + LWB Van | £90/h | £100/h |
| 2 Men + Luton Van | £100/h | £110/h |
Minimum: 2 hours. After the first 2 hours, additional time is charged in 30-minute blocks, at the additional-time rate confirmed in your quote. For example, with one mover and an LWB van at £60/h, an extra 30 minutes costs £30. Longer routes are charged at the hourly rate plus approximately £1 per mile. Parking, waiting and applicable city charges can be separate.
What Affects the Price in Merton?
What You're Moving
List furniture, appliances and packed boxes from every room. Include stored belongings as well, so a Merton room move and a full household removal can be assessed separately.
How Many Movers
Choose the lifting help around the heaviest items and carrying route. Stairs, awkward doorways or moving without customer lifting assistance may make two movers more practical.
Parking and Access
Confirm the permitted loading place and building entrance. Describe stairs, lifts and the walk from the van; a short drive within Merton does not necessarily mean a short moving job.
Distance and Extra Stops
Give every collection, storage and delivery postcode. The quote confirms working time, chargeable mileage and any applicable parking or city costs for your actual itinerary.
Merton Moving Price Examples
See how the hourly rates translate into a moving cost. Each example uses an assumed duration for loading, travel and unloading. Your quote is based on your actual items, route and access.
Examples assume packed items, clear loading access and ground-floor or usable lift access, unless stairs are stated.
| Example Move | Van & Movers | Time × Hourly Rate | Time Charge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small furniture collectionA few manageable items collected locally in Merton | 1 mover + LWB van | 2 hours × £60/h | £120 |
| Student room movePacked boxes, bags and a bike between addresses in Merton | 1 mover + LWB van | 3 hours × £60/h | £180 |
| Larger room or storage loadLight furniture and boxes needing more van space | 1 mover + Luton van | 3 hours × £70/h | £210 |
| One-bedroom flat exampleFurniture and packed boxes, with lift access in Merton | 2 movers + LWB van | 3 hours × £90/h | £270 |
| Upstairs flat exampleA similar load with stairs at one or both addresses | 2 movers + LWB van | 3 hours × £100/h (stairs rate) | £300 |
| Two-bedroom home exampleHousehold furniture and packed boxes in Merton | 2 movers + Luton van | 4 hours × £100/h | £400 |
| Larger household loadMore furniture and boxes, with six working hours assumed | 2 movers + Luton van | 6 hours × £100/h | £600 |
These are illustrative time charges, not fixed prices for an entire room, flat or house. Mileage, parking, applicable city charges and agreed extra work are additional where relevant. A larger load, extra trip, long carry or delayed keys can increase the time. Confirm the estimated duration and additional-time billing in your quote.
How the Two-Hour Minimum Works
If a ground-floor collection with one mover and an LWB van takes one hour, the minimum time charge is still 2 × £60 = £120. After the first two hours, you pay for additional time in 30-minute blocks. At £60/h, each extra block costs £30, so a 2.5-hour move costs £120 + £30 = £150, before applicable extras.
How Stairs Change the Price
Two movers with an LWB van cost £90/h for ground-floor or lift access and £100/h for stairs. For the same three-hour example, that is £270 with lift access or £300 with stairs. Difficult access may also add working time.
A Longer-Journey Calculation
Assume five total working hours with two movers and a Luton van: 5 × £100 = £500. If the quote includes 80 chargeable miles at £1/mile, add £80: £580 before other extras. The route, chargeable mileage and mileage rate must be confirmed in your quote.
Choose Your Van and Moving Team
Send a complete item list and photographs of larger pieces. We choose capacity and lifting help for your Merton move using the actual belongings and access, rather than the property name alone.
Small Van • approx. 6 m³
Suitable for boxes, luggage and compact collections around Merton, subject to the dimensions and weight of the complete load.
LWB Van • approx. 13 m³
A useful option for room changes, many smaller flat moves and furniture transport. Include appliances and packed cartons when assessing capacity.
Luton Van • approx. 16 m³
More space for bulky furniture, office contents and larger household loads. We agree whether one trip is sufficient or extra capacity is needed.
Vehicle measurements are approximate and can vary by Service Provider.
When One Mover Makes Sense
A room move or a few manageable items may only need one mover. If you intend to help, agree this when booking and tell us about any item that cannot be carried safely by one person.
When to Book Two Movers
Choose two movers for heavy furniture, awkward stairs or when you want the team to handle the lifting. A second mover improves handling options but does not increase the van's capacity.

Planning Moves Around Merton
A borough-wide move can involve quite different properties at collection and delivery. These Merton notes help you prepare for flats, family homes, business premises and smaller furniture jobs.
Wimbledon Flats and Homes
For a Wimbledon move, give the exact building entrance and floor levels. Ask about any lift or loading reservation and photograph larger furniture that must pass through stairs or narrow doorways.
Morden Family Moves
For a Morden home, include garage, garden and loft belongings as well as furniture indoors. Check whether the driveway can take the booked van, and tell us if keys or completion times could delay delivery.
Mitcham Collections
A Mitcham furniture collection needs measurements, a confirmed handover window and access details at the seller. Tell us if the item must be taken downstairs or dismantled before it can leave.

For a Colliers Wood apartment, ask the manager about the goods entrance and lift slot. Include steps before the lift, entrance codes and the carrying distance from the loading position.

One mover with an LWB van starts at £60 per hour, with a two-hour minimum. The vehicle, team and stairs affect the rate. After two hours, additional time is billed in 30-minute blocks at the rate agreed in your quote. Check the price table; mileage, parking and agreed extras may be additional.
Can I book a small move or one furniture item in Merton?
Yes. We can quote for furniture, appliances, boxes, luggage and smaller room or storage moves. Send photographs and dimensions, with floors and access at both ends. A heavy or awkward single item can still need two movers, even when the journey is nearby.
